Lilly Anne: 18 Weeks

Well, Miss Lilly Anne, you are officially 4 months now! At your Well Baby visit this week, you were 25.5 inches and 14 lbs, 10 oz. Not quite as giant as we thought, but growing steadily! You love, love, loved the crinkly paper on the doctor's table--I think it was the highlight of your week to tear it up with your hands and feet! You have had a very chatty week (and found new octaves and decibels, lucky us), and you want to grab EVERYTHING and put it into your mouth. If it doesn't fit, you get quite frustrated. Luckily you have settled back into a good nightly sleep schedule, still waking up a couple of times to eat, but much more consistent. Daylight Saving's Time definitely helped, because it gave us the chance to jump your bedtime up an hour to 9:00. When you are awake, which is most of the day now, you are definitely more aware and interested in everything, and I think it is time to get you some new toys to keep you from getting bored! We were going to wait until Christmas to get you a bouncer, but I think we should do it sooner! Aside from having a fussy afternoon after your shots, I can't believe how happy you are to just chill and play most of the day! We are so blessed to be your parents.
